1) Use a single joint accident report booklet for 2 vehicles involved (2 for 3 vehicles...), regardless of who supplies or fills it out. Preferably use a ballpoint pen and press hard, as the duplicate will be easier to read

2) When drawing up your accident report, remember to : - when answering questions a) in section 8, refer to your insurance documents (contract or green card), b) in section 9, refer to your driver's license. - accurately indicate the point of initial impact (section 10) - put a cross (X) in the box corresponding to each of the circumstances (n°1 to 17) applicable to the accident (item 12) and indicate the number of boxes so marked - draw a sketch of the accident (item 13).

3) If there were witnesses to the accident, write down their names and addresses, especially in the event of difficulties with the other driver.

Alert the police first.
